Varied Thrush

At last I managed to capture this guy, he has been hanging around the feeders for a week. They are very shy birds and he would pop out of the holly hedge snatch a dropped peanut and dash back under the bushes. They love to turn over old leaves so he is usually under the bushes and hard to capture... They are not seen very often in my garden...
